We promote Ca l'Ordit in the Sant Andreu neighborhood of Barcelona, the largest cooperative housing project done so far in Catalonia and Spain, with 62 homes to be built on a municipal lot located at Avinguda Torras i Bages 126-128. Barcelona City Council has ceded to Sostre Cívic the lot with a surface right of 75 years, within the municipal policies of support to foundations and cooperatives to increase the social stock of affordable housing through the procedure indicated in ESAL Agreement.
It will also be a pioneering initiative to incorporate a ambitious project of intercooperation and inclusion thanks to an agreement we have signed with him cooperative group TEB and which determines that some of the homes will be reserved for people with intellectual disabilities. The TEB group will ensure the inclusive perspective in all aspects of the project, and will accompany the community of people with intellectual disabilities during coexistence.
In this way, Ca l'Ordit wants to provide a response to both the problem of access to affordable housing and that of social inclusion.. As collective property and management, the project proposes an alternative way of accessing affordable housing and social inclusion, through the democratic and participative management of the same users of a public policy such as the right to the housing
AN INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY TO BREAK THE STIGS
Some of the homes in the Ca l'Ordit project will be intended for people with intellectual disabilities and also for living units that want to accompany these people, and that share the same vision of social inclusion.
The homes intended for people with intellectual disabilities will be between 10 and 12% of the total homes in the development, and it is expected that they will be able to accommodate 24 people: They will be divided into two types:
- The first type will be a group of homes organized in the format of "residential home".
- The other type will be conventional housing for people with intellectual disabilities who have autonomy.
In addition, Ca l'Ordit will include collective spaces that will take into account the reality of people with disabilities. All the people who will live there will be part of the same community to share the vision and the unique governance system in front Sostre Cívic.
HOW HAS CA L'ORDIT PROGRESSED SO FAR?
Faced with a project of such dimensions, from Sostre Cívic and specifically from the Governing Council, at the beginning of the year 2023, it was decided to create one participation commission to work together with the technical team of the cooperative and with the team of architects to develop the Basic Architectural Project. This commission has been formed by about 16 people, of which 11 are members of Sostre Cívic, and 5 are people linked to the TEB cooperative group (served people, workers and families).
This commission has worked for four months and has contributed to the achievement of the following milestones:
- The creation of the draft and basic project.
- The creation of project principles and ideology, in the form of declarations of intent and strong ideas that will help us in the creation of the driving group and the Sant Andreu project as a whole.
With this elaborate work, In October 2023, registrations for the project's driving group opened, that is to say, the group of people who will live there and who will work, until the year 2026, in the development of the project in all its dimensions (community, economic, architectural, etc.)
THE BUILDING
The architectural design of Ca l'Ordit is being developed by the team formed by Paul Vidal I la Yaiza Terre, which were chosen through a contest of ideas from the supplier base of Sostre Cívic. This procedure, which we promote from 2021, serves to transparently regulate the procedure for the selection of the professional teams that develop our projects.
From March 2023, the participation commission made up of members of Sostre Cívic and the TEB Group have decided on the general features of the project, and have worked on the co-design and definition of the preliminary project together with the architects.
The result has been a 10-storey building with 62 homes and common spaces. We find the following types of homes:
- Type S1: 4 homes of approximately 35m2
- Typology M1, M2 and M3: 20 homes between 45 and 51m2 approximately
- Type L1, L2, L3 and L-adapted: 31 homes between 61 and 64m2 approximately
- Type XL1, XL2, XL3: 7 homes between 71 and 94m2 approximately
The building will also have several common spaces, which we will find located in several places in the building. Multipurpose spaces have been planned so that the driving group itself can determine their uses later, in addition to a kitchen area and another laundry area with the installation already defined.
